About Emily and Stephen Cahnmann

Based in NYC the Cahnmann's wanted to have a rural escape that was not too far from the City. This property is 100 miles door to door for them and they frequent it often and also their log cabin up the road.

Emily and Stephen Cahnmann purchased this House in 2015

Why Emily and Stephen Cahnmann chose Pond Eddy

We love this area because of the access to the Delaware River and he lovely mountain views. It's extremely private on the mountainside (you may not see more than one car pass by a day along the gravel road). It's located very close to NYC and also other ski resorts, golf resorts, concert halls, restaurants etc... Just listen to the sound of the birds............beautiful!! You might even see an American Bald Eagle!!

Myself and 4 other friends rented this house for 3 nights and it was perfect. If you are looking for a quiet spot in the woods with all the amenities you need, this is the place. Roof deck is amazing, we used the fire pit every night. There are tons of hiking trails close by. Beautiful setting.

We (3 couples all in our 30s) had a wonderful time. The house was clean and beautiful. The outdoor space, including fire pit were great.

I did not read the bedroom descriptions as carefully as I should have. I saw 4 bedrooms and thought that would be more than enough for 6 adults. However, only 2 of the bedrooms have full beds. The other two have 2 single futons. These were very uncomfortable. Additionally, only one of the rooms has a door so there was not much privacy. The house is fairly open concept which can be noisy if some people want to sleep in and others are up and making breakfast.

Owner's Response:

Glad you had a great time and you thought our home beautiful and clean. We appreciate your feedback. This is the first 3 star review we have ever had, and as you admitted it, was due largely to the fact that you did not read or investigate about the home. I am always prepared to answer any questions and we've had many couples, families, and friends find out layout very unique and fun. For users of this site there are indeed 2 bedrooms with doors. Thank you for being respectful guests.

A great place to take a vacation to!

From the moment we walked into this house we were blown away. The pictures do not do it justice. Very well built (no expense spared) and decorated perfectly. The two decks are tremendous, the Sonos system with outdoor Bose speakers was the perfect compliment. Well equipped kitchen, phenomenal air conditioning, secluded location, fire pit, and awesome Weber grill. Great home to get away, connect with friends, and relax. This is a beautiful home that was the perfect place to get together with friends for a long weekend. The interior of the home was so well done. Easily one of the best homes I have ever rented or have had the pleasure of staying in. The care and quality of the home is evident in every aspect. Clearly the owners really care about this home and property.

This is an amazing property! I woke up this morning and was looking for the back deck, to sit out on, but realized I was back in Brooklyn.

First, the property is exactly as advertised in the pics, so do not worry about misrepresentation. The house is absolutely beautiful, well appointed and very clean, down to the smallest detail- dishes washed, floors mopped, furniture dusted, etc.

The owners are very attentive and lovely. They answered my questions prior to arrival and sent a detailed orientation packet, so there were no surprises. We spoke in the morning of arrival- as they wanted to make sure we had enough firewood. We especially appreciated the late check out, and it allowed us to enjoy a beautiful morning in the woods.

The time we visited, it was exceptionally hot, but the house allows for comfort. The central air system was efficient and kept the home very comfortable, and the ceiling fans throughout the house were great.

I appreciated that the owners are opento hosting pets, even though it is clear they have gone the extra mile in creating a modern home (Sub Zero fridge, Sonos, Bose speakers). Peggy loved sleeping on the deck and laying in the grass at night when we used the fire pit (also amazing).

You will love staying at this house no matter what- but those who want seclusion and immersion in nature will love staying here. It is a serene oasis. Having coffee in the early morning hours just melted away the stress. Every once in a while you may hear a truck from the road down the hill, but it does not take away from the environment at all. The stars at night were beautiful! But most exciting was the wildlife- condors, bats, a hummingbird- and the best part- a visit from a mother bear and her three cubs! What an experience! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cahnmann!

My family and I stayed at this rental a couple of weekends ago and had an aboslutely delightful experience. The Cahnmans were welcoming and accommodating (even allowing us to bring our fur babies for the stay).

The home is cozy and truly feels like you are at a home. It is a big open space, no individual rooms, which we loved because it really brought the family together. Everything turns into a bed and there is a meticulously organized closet full of linens labeled for each sleeping arrangement. We never had to reach out for things we lacked but regardless, Emily regularly emailed to let us know they were there for us, if needed.

We cooked during our entire stay and the kitchen was completely equipped with pots, pans, spices, etc, which was a huge plus because as an Italian family, cooking is a team effort and we had everything at our disposal. The grill outside is brand new and we used it for lunch and dinner and ate outside on the lovely patio when it wasn't raining.

Overall, 10/10 great experience and a great getaway from the city. We will definitely return.
